"Texans who want a silencer for their firearm must still go through an application process administered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, pay $200 and go through a criminal background check."

OK...so what is the issue here? Texans, like anyone else could always apply for a silencer, pay the tax, have the paperwork on them and fire away. Now, if Texans told the Feds to get screwed and the silencers will be manufactured and sold only in Texas, to Texas residents, this would be a real story.

What am I missing here?

“What am I missing here? “

It is no longer illegal to use suppressors while hunting game in TX.
